MERCURY REV - DESERTER'S SONGS (180G LP)

Mercury Rev Deserter's Songs on 180g LP

In 1998 Mercury Rev delivered the unexpected, a hit album. Deserter’s Songs, the fourth studio long player from the New York-based band not only delivered three UK Top 40 singles, but also struck cultural pay dirt across the globe and still resonates today. Fully cementing Mercury Rev’s rebirth as purveyors of a cosmic brand of the popular American songbook, Deserter’s Songs is an album of grandiose proportions. Merging jazz, folk, sweeping orchestration, and a dose of '60s rock, the album was intended as the band’s swan song.

Originally released on V2 Records, Deserter’s Songs was chosen as the first release on Light In The Attic's new imprint, Modern Classics Recordings. Modern Classics’ Deserter’s Songs is the first LP reissue of this landmark album. This beautiful audio remaster comes courtesy of co-producer and original Mercury Rev member David Fridmann and is pressed on expanded gatefold 180g vinyl with 4-page insert. Each copy will receive a free download card for two live tracks plus an exclusive audio commentary/interview.
